The Emperor Protects

The First 13 Months

Background

7

JAN/12

After the kill team members completed their training they were tasked to form a kill-team and sent to watch station Oertha. Here they joined the forces of Watch Codicier Kurita, who is in charge of the Astartes presence on the planet, and leads the Deathwatch forces based on the Watch station.
So far the stationing has lasted 13 months. 13 months of war against the insidious Tau and their Kroot allies.

The Purging of Settlement 53
